You can't use the Profile Manager or the controls in `about:profiles` with Firefox Portable. But here are three methods to achieve multiple profiles. NOTE: Method 1 will result in every profile being fully portable. In method 2, the "secondary" profiles are not portable (as each has a single full path in an ini file). With method 3, none of the profiles are portable (as all profiles have a single full path in an in file).

This method is the easiest, and is in fact the *ONLY* method that allows multiple profiles over multiple Firefox versions.

Here is another method, and due to the restructuring of the profile locations, this means all profiles are no longer automatically picked up if the path changes (a simple ini edit for each one can fix this for migrations). This method is great for running lots (dozens!) of profiles with a single Firefox version.
